3.2 EXAMINATION

A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with Installer present, for compliance with
requirements for installation tolerances, sheet metal roofing supports, and other conditions
affecting performance of work.

1. Examine primary and secondary roof framing to verify that rafters, purlins, angles,
channels, and other structural panel support members and anchorages have been installed.
2. Examine solid roof sheathing to verify that sheathing joints are supported by framing or
blocking and that installation is within flatness tolerances.
3. Verify that substrate is sound, dry, smooth, clean, sloped for drainage, and completely
anchored, and that provision has been made for roof drains, scuppers, flashings, and
penetrations through sheet metal roofing.
4. For the record, prepare written report, endorsed by Installer, listing conditions detrimental
to performance of work.

B. Examine roughing-in for components and systems penetrating sheet metal roofing to verify
actual locations of penetrations relative to seam locations of sheet metal roofing before sheet
metal roofing installation.

C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.3 UNDERLAYMENT AND VAPOR RETARDER INSTALLATION

A. Fabric Underlayment and Slip Sheet: Install underlayment/slip sheet on roof sheathing on
continuous surface under sheet metal roofing. Use mechanical fasteners in the laps for
anchorage. Apply tape as per manufacturer recommendation to seal the laps. Apply at locations

VM ZINC® FACTORY FORMED METAL ROOF PANELS 07610 - 12

indicated on Drawings, in shingle fashion to shed water, with lapped and taped joints of not less
than 6 inches (150 mm). Cover underlayment within 60 days.

B. Self-Adhering Sheet Underlayment: Install self-adhering sheet underlayment, wrinkle free, on
continuous sheathing. Apply primer if required by underlayment manufacturer. Comply with
temperature restrictions of underlayment manufacturer for installation; use primer rather than
nails for installing underlayment at low temperatures. Apply at locations indicated on Drawings
, in shingle fashion to shed water, with end laps of not less than 6 inches (150 mm) staggered 24
inches (600 mm) between courses. Overlap side edges not less than 3-1/2 inches (90 mm). Roll

5. Locate roofing splices over, but not attached to, structural supports. Stagger roofing
splices and end laps to avoid a four-panel lap splice condition.
6. Lap metal flashing over sheet metal roofing to allow moisture to run over and off the
material.

B. Allowable Erection Tolerance
1. Maximum Alignment Variation: 1/8 in (3 mm)

C. Fasteners: Use fasteners of type and size that will secure the roof components in compliance
with requirements of the project. Clip fasteners shall be selected with heads that will seat flush
to the deck, eliminating potential for contact and abrasion with the panel, and telegraphing.

D. Conceal fasteners and expansion provisions where possible in exposed work and locate to
minimize possibility of leakage. Cover and seal fasteners and anchors as required for a weather
tight installation.
